ADHD diagnoses are rising faster than ever in both children and adults. But are our brains really "breaking," or are we treating symptoms instead of root causes? In this episode, Dr. Tim Scott and NP Mia Scott take a deep dive into what ADHD actually is and what it isn't. They explore why diagnoses and stimulant prescriptions have exploded, how sleep, diet, hormones, stress, trauma, and screen time affect focus, and why many people may be misdiagnosed. You'll learn:
✅ Why attention issues are increasing in kids and adults
✅ How blood sugar, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid health impact focus
✅ The role of processed food, sleep deprivation, and digital overstimulation
✅ Why schools and modern life may be working against brain biology
✅ When medication makes sense and when it shouldn't be the first step
✅ Practical, root-cause strategies to improve attention naturally
This episode isn't about dismissing ADHD. It's about understanding it better and giving you real tools to support brain health for life. If you've ever wondered whether your symptoms are more than "just ADHD," this conversation is for you.
